When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit! (some smart mo-fo ... Author is unknown) #RespectTheProcess & #PhuckTheNaySayers

bodybyadonisWeek 1 vs Week5 ....
Went to an Amazing BBQ yesterday and turned down a Donut Burger #Str8FoodPorno & liquor .... But I have to stay focused

Check this shyt out .... We are all born into this life with a particular purpose, or mission, a gift to give the world. We will find that whatever is our passion is and all that ... Is generally related to our purpose and for which we have a particular gift to develop and share.

We ALL have dreams and wishes. Its alright to dream. Unless we do something about them, that is exactly what they remain. You have to wake the Phuck up sometime. It is action that brings our dreams and wishes to life. We can do this by setting goals and taking it step by step until our goals are realized. Never be daunted by those who would discourage you. Listen to and act on your inner voice, let your life be an adventure! Mistakes and all. After all, it is your life!

bodybyadonisHad a Ruff day today #LoooooooooongStory so I treated myself to some 7 Grain Pancakes topped w/Bananas, Strawberries & Walnuts and egg whites on the side from @NaturesGrill#HealthyChoices#MyGetFocusMeal The last time I ate these pancakes was last November when I decided to leave my job and peruse personal training full time, open a gym and try out this whole body builder thing. 1/3 of it is done! (haven't opened my own gym yet and i haven't stepped on the stage yet). #GODisGood but somewhere along the line I lost focus and today like last year I am RE-focused #TeamReFocus
Today life threw a brick wall in front of me but “The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.” ― Randy Pausch#TheseNinjasCantHoldMeBack

So in 2009 I was 310 lbs and #SickAndTiredOfBeingSickAndTired. I went on a calculated weight lost mission. I changed my diet and I started running everyday like I was Forest Gump and shyt #NoJennyTho. I got down to what you see in this 2011 pic of 193 lbs but I was too small for my 6'1 African Mandingo Warrior Frame

Nah not a vegetarian but someone introduced it to me because a lot of other protein powders are hard on my stomach. I've found vega to be easy on my stomach , great tasting and helped me pack on and maintain quality muscle without unwanted calories. There is also a brand called plant fusion which is not as good but is more economical. 1y

gymjonesnyc@bodybyadonis thank you for this post bro. I was looking for a pre workout but couldn't find any without all that ish in it. After seeing this I bought the Vega pre workout and that stuff Keeps me energized. I added extra drop sets to my routines because of all the energy I have now. Again many thanks and keep on putting us on 1y
